"A Democrat That Can Win Is What We Need": Translating Values Into Governance And Delivering The Goods
In my estimation, there's only one presidential candidate in 2016 fully capable of doing the job, and she's anything but a natural.
As Hillary Clinton has also been the target of maybe the longest-running smear campaign in American history — including roughly a dozen partisan Congressional investigations and a six-year leak-o-matic "independent counsel" probe led by the fastidious Kenneth Starr — it's no wonder some voters mistrust her.
Overcoming that suspicion is her biggest challenge.
Republicans have predicted her imminent indictment for 20 years. You'd think by now they'd have made something stick, if there was anything to it. But it didn't happen then, and it's not going to happen now for an obvious reason: in a democracy, political show trials endanger the prosecution as much as the defense.
Anybody who watched Hillary's one-woman demolition of Rep. Trey Gowdy's vaunted Benghazi committee should understand that.
Meanwhile, one of the best things about Sen. Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign is his unwillingness to smear his opponent. Too bad many of his most passionate supporters aren't so fastidious. With Iowa's make-or-break moment approaching for Sanders, it's getting nasty out there.
It's not so much the tiresome attacks on anybody who disagrees with them as a corrupt sellout. (My corporate overlords, of course, dictated that sentence.) It's the seeming belief that people can be browbeaten into supporting their guy.
Some are a bit like Trump supporters–although normally without the threats. That too may be changing. Recently a guy visited my Facebook page saying people like me deserve "to be dragged into the street and SHOT for…treason against not only our country and our people, but the ENTIRE [BLEEPING] WORLD."
My response — "Settle down, Beavis" — sent him into a rage.
But no, Hillary's not an instinctive performer, although her stage presence strikes me as improved since 2008. A person needn't be "inauthentic" (pundit-speak for "bitch") to be uncomfortable in front of an audience.
As for authenticity, few Democrats could work a crowd like North Carolina Sen. John Edwards.
President Obama nailed it during a recent Politico interview:
Hillary does better with "small groups" than big ones, he observed, before putting his thumb heavily on the scale. He described Hillary as a fighter, who's "extraordinarily experienced — and, you know, wicked smart and knows every policy inside and out — [and] sometimes [that] could make her more cautious, and her campaign more prose than poetry," he said.
Even so, she came closer to defeating Obama in 2008 than Republicans have. "Had things gone a little bit different in some states or if the sequence of primaries and caucuses been a little different," the president said, "she could have easily won."
Indeed. As non-endorsements go, the president's remarks couldn't have been more complimentary. "She had to do everything that I had to do, except, like Ginger Rogers, backwards in heels," he added.
Obama wisely said nothing critical about Bernie Sanders, but nothing particularly warm either. "Bernie came in with the luxury of being a complete long shot and just letting loose," he observed. The president said he understood the appeal of Sanders "full-throated…progressivism."
Well, Mr. Hopey-Changey as Sarah Palin calls him, certainly should.
Seven years of trench warfare with congressional Republicans, however, have brought out the president's inner pragmatist. Which Democrat is best-positioned to consolidate the Obama legacy and move it forward?
First, one who stands a good chance of being elected.
Look, there's a reason Karl Rove's super PAC is running anti-Hillary TV ads in Iowa. Bernie Sanders "radical" past makes him a GOP oppo-research dream. Never mind socialism. Did you know he once wrote a column claiming that sexual frustration causes cervical cancer?
That in the 1970s, he called for nationalizing oil companies, electric utilities, and — get this — TV networks? Asked about it, he deflects by noting that Hillary once supported Barry Goldwater. Yeah, when she was 16. Bernie was in his mid-30s when he called for confiscating the Rockefeller family fortune. How most Americans hear that is: if he can take away their stuff, he can take away mine.
Sure, many people went off the rails during the Seventies. Most aren't running for president. Bernie strikes me as a fine senator and a decent man. However, the current U.S. Congress has voted 60 times to repeal Obamacare. And he's going to give us single-payer "Medicare for all?"
No, he's not. Assuming he could find a sponsor, it'd never get out of committee. I doubt I'll live to see single-payer health insurance in the USA. And I'm younger than Bernie. A complete retrofitting of American health care simply isn't in the works. The votes just aren't there, and they won't materialize by repeating the magic word "revolution."
President Obama says Hillary represents the "recognition that translating values into governance and delivering the goods is ultimately the job of politics, making a real-life difference to people in their day-to-day lives."
Hard-won reality, that is, as opposed to fantasy.

Like you, I have no desire to continue this conversation. However, I have found several things that bear me out. The thread is not in the original order it was when I initially posted my comment. The comments are out of order which makes it impossible for you to have posted my original comment at the time I posted it. That thread went as follows: #1 comment from Keith, #2 comment from kbfreaks, 3rd comment was your reply to him. This is when I posted my comment that was deleted (and, the 2nd and 3rd time I posted it was deleted) which should have been the 4th comment. Instead #4 was another comment from kbfreakc and #5 was your reply to that. Then, the next day my comment of the day before suddenly appeared on the page (#6) along with my other 2 comments (#7 and #8) along with your comment (#9) saying the problem is on my part! My reply to your #9 was #10. Now I have your reply to that saying it was still my problem ("ask WordPress") and timelines are different. You also said "I review each comment in line as it is received" This supports what I have been saying. If that is the case, my original post should have been #4, before you received kbfreaks second comment. As I said, it was deleted (3 times) before kbfreaks even made his second comment. It is not possible that there was a problem with WordPress or myself that would leave the page "intact" except for my comment. I rest my case! This is the end of my comments on this issue.
O.K. The problem was not on my part because I checked for the comment I made on your page and it was deleted. I did try to post the comment again, twice. Each time I went back to this page, they were deleted and the "awaiting moderation" was on your site. Everything else was the same on this page so it had nothing to do with any other page on the Reader or any fault on my part. So, evidently it was on your end. You might check to see what you may be doing wrong to delete my comments!
I have never seen the "your comment is awaiting "moderation" before. What exactly does this mean? Is that why my first post was deleted? If my re-post is deleted I will have no choice but to assume my views are no longer acceptable on this site! Which means, it is not a "democratic" site where all views are accepted!
You my friend are sorely mistaken. There have been no changes to comment posting on this site since it's inception. The problem is on your part. In reviewing my comments received, you provided 3 back to back comments, all with identical wording. There is absolutely no reason to post the same 3 identical comments to the same post. Your comment was posted. You might check to see what you may be doing wrong on your end. Thanks
I don't know what problems you may be having. It may be something you might want to ask of WordPress. The other factor is that I do not sit at my computer 24/7 so your timeline for response is certainly different from when I go through my comments section. I review each comment in line as it is received. I have no other comments on this issue.

All people thinking of voting for Hillary Clinton should go to youtube and check out a cpuple of revealing documentaries. One is called "Dirty Laundry" and the other is "The Clinton Chronicles." I dare anyone to watch these documentaries and then not recoil in horror at the thought of Hillary Clinton becoming president.
Many people errantly think that because Hillary Clinton is a woman that she will be good for women, but the real Hillary Clinton was in charge of smearing and threatening any of Bill Clinton's mistresses who dared to talk to the media about thier affairs with Bill Clinton. The real Hillary Clinton abuses her power like she did with Billy Dale the former head of the White House travel office who she lied about and had falsely prosecuted to provide a cover for bringing in her corrupt friends to take over the travel office.
We all know down deep that the real Hillary Clinton violated State Department rules by doing official business using her own private server to cover up her corrupt deals and bribes.
Many Clinton supporters pointed to how well she did at the Benghazi hearings in defending her. But I watched those hearings and as far as I am concerned she was proven to be a liar because she told the American people what she knew was not true when she claimed that the attack on Benghazi was due to an anti-Islam tape. For this lie an innocent man's life was nearly destroyed and he went to prison for nothing. At the Benghazi hearings she did nothing to dispel the impression that she failed our embassy staff in Benghazi by not making sure they had the resources they needed to do their job which she called for them to do. Then she did nothing to make certain resources were mobilized to defend the embassy when it was under attack. American airpuwer from bases in Italy could have easily reached Benghazi to provide support and Hillary did nothing to make sure that happened when she got the infamous 3:00am call about the matter.
The only thing Hillary did for herself during those hearings was to carefully avoid criminal responsibily for her failure of leadership. It is clear to me that Hillary Clinton is easily the most corrupt politician I've ever seen run for president in my 58 years of life, and that includes Richard Nixon. I feel that those democrats who vote for Hillary Clinton because she is so "electable" will come to regret their decision.
If I were the republican nominee I would organize a national roadshow of all those people who have been victimized by the Clintons. I think such a roadshow would slowly and surely erode Hillaries support. Also there is a good chance the country will go into a recession this year and if that is the case she will not be considered a change candidate for the purpose of rescuing the nation from recession or depression and the republican will almost certainly win.
If Clinton were to somehow win look for continuing Clinton scandals and corruption. Look for her to abuse her office and ruin anyone's life who is a threat to her greed and power. We would be fearing our government as opposed to looking at the government as a servant of the people.
For myself I would never vote for Hillary Clinton under any circumstance. She is the kind of politician who I totally disbelieve. If she tells me the sky is blue I am going to be looking outside to make sure that the sky is still blue. All of her promises and plans are pure bunk. She will say anything to anyone at anytime to secure a vote but after the election her only concerns will be weilding and protecting her absolute power on behalf of herself and her friends who financed her campaign. Don't be a fool. Don't vote for Hillary in your state primary or caucus and if she is nominated vote for someone like Jill Stein of the Green party in the general election.

Thanks for your opinions, none of which were verified by 7 other investigative committees. Conspiracy Theories prevail and haven't gotten us anywhere. You are more than welcome to vote for whomever you choose, and so am I. That's the beauty of Democracy and I trust the American People to make the correct decision come this November.
You should ask yourself why there were all of these investigations of the Clintons if they are so honest. Just because the Clintons are good at covering their tracks does that mean they are innocent? At some point voters need to use their common sense to figure what is going on. No congressional investigation is needed to convince me that the reason Hillary Clinton kept a private server in violation of State Department policy is so that she could more easiiy cover up her bribes and other corrupt activities. Also no congressional investigation is needed to convince me that Hillary Clinton was derelict of her duties when she failed to act to give our embassy in Benghazi the air support they needed to fight off a terrorist attack. Just watch the new movie 13 hours. If voters insist on listening to Hillary Clintons spin doctors instead of their own common sense then they are about to make a big mistake in the upcoming primaries and possibly November. This could be the end of American Democracy.

Comment by kbfreakc | January 29, 2016
I have not watched the you tube videos and do not believe everything I read about "conspiracy theories". However, I have learned much about Hillary over the years she has been in politics and read all "reliable" accounts of her leadership abilities. Both pro and con. I have come to the conclusion I cannot trust what she says she will do if president. She has changed her mind too many times and I feel she just says what she thinks the people want to hear, not something she, herself believes in. Keith's post gives no hope for Americans should she or a Republican be elected. I feel the only choice is Bernie Sanders. I do not believe Hillary is the only one who can get things done with congress. Bernie Sanders has been in congress many more years than Hillary and knows his way around the "loopholes" better. As raemd95 says, we are all welcome to vote for whomever we choose. This is the United States of America!
If Hillary wins the nomination, the heat will only get hotter. If Bernie wins the nomination, the "communist" rhetoric will start, as the GOP knows too few Americans know the difference between a socialist and communist. If Cruz wins, the communist talk will be like a flashback to a dark time in America, as Cruz resembles both physically and in demeanor Senator Joe McCarthy of the communist witch hunts. To me, the difference in what is being talked about by the parties is stark.

Costa Rican international forward joins Chicago Fire
Cuauhtemoc Blanco has already boosted the Fire's sagging offense. He's about to get some reinforcements.
On Monday, the team officially introduced Costa Rican international forward Paulo Wanchope. The Fire said the 31-year-old veteran of two World Cups will start and become the target of the team's offense as soon as his immigration papers clear.
Fire president/CEO John Guppy, who courted Wanchope for more than two weeks — with the reputation of Fire head coach Juan Carlos Osorio adding to the team's allure — said there's a "60 percent chance" Wanchope's papers will clear in time for the team's Major League Soccer match Saturday vs. the Columbus Crew at Toyota Park in Bridgeview.
If he can't play Saturday, Wanchope should be available for the Fire's Aug. 18 match at Real Salt Lake.
"I'm very happy to be here, and it's a great, great challenge for me," said Wanchope, who spent eight seasons in the English Premier League and one in the Spanish First Division. "I'm happy to be back working with Juan Carlos, and that's why I made the decision to come here. It's a great chance to recover the level of my game."
Wanchope played in the English Premier League from 1996-2004, the final four of those seasons with Manchester City. Osorio was an assistant coach with the team at the time, and the two developed a professional relationship that fueled Guppy's pursuit of the 6-foot-4 forward.
Wanchope has struggled to find his niche since leaving Spain's Malaga FC in 2005, bouncing around in leagues in Argentina, Qatar, Costa Rica and Japan. Still, his talent and size should make an immediate impact, according to Osorio.
"He's a 'target man.' He's not only very good in the air, but he's very strong," Osorio said of Wanchope, who played on Costa Rica's World Cup squads in 2002 and 2006. "He's a very good professional, and he will be a very good example for the young players who come to watch the games to see how a striker should play the position."
The Fire (5-8-4) has longed for an effective striker for much of the season, but the July 20 addition of Blanco has already paid dividends. Blanco scored a goal in his Fire debut in an international friendly July 22 against Celtic FC, and assisted on the first goal of the Fire's 3-0 MLS romp Sunday over Toronto FC.
Osorio said the addition of Wanchope won't affect Blanco's status as an attacking midfielder.
Although he's been courted by MLS teams in the past, Wanchope said the Fire's hiring of Osorio made his decision to come here an easy one. Wanchope also spoke with former Fire forward and 2006 team MVP Andy Herron, a fellow Costa Rican, to get his impression of the team and the league.
"I know the quality I will have during the week, working out and practicing," said Wanchope, who scored two goals against Germany in a first-round game in the 2006 World Cup. "And I know that will make me a better player."

Decorating tip: Mix materials
"The key to updating your home with the latest trends is finding a balance," says HGTV designer and television personality Taniya Nayak. "It's all about making it personal and adding elements that fit your lifestyle and design personality, without breaking the bank." One great way to make a big impact on a small budget is to mix materials, creating a blend of polished and raw in a room with modern and industrial elements.
Mixing materials can also mean utilizing different finishes throughout a room. In the kitchen, using contrasting materials makes your space look personalized. Try a mix of wood and painted finishes for a more layered and collected feel. By resisting the urge to perfectly match every piece, you'll have a space that looks current and works nicely together.

The browser (Internet program) you are using is too old and not standard compliant. That means that I would have to write hacks to make my site display properly on this old and quirky browser, and it is not worth the effort when the new browsers follow my code much more faithfully. That's especially true considering I write websites just for fun and don't know all of the pro tricks.

If you are still using Windows XP (i.e. not Vista or 7), then you cannot go higher than Internet Explorer 8. Never fear, the latest version of Firefox will still work for you.

Today's News: Our Take - Bones: The Honeymoon Is Over — Now What?
Bones fans will get a double dose of action this week.
The show will air a new episode on Monday (8/7c, Fox) before shifting into its new timeslot (Fridays at 8/7c) later in the week. And even though lead characters Dr. Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and FBI agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) recently got married, executive producer Stephen Nathan insists the show is nowhere near finished.
First Look: Bones' bachelorette bash
"It is a new era, but we never thought [the wedding] was the end," Nathan tells TVGuide.com. "We always felt that the marriage was an integral part of their story, but it wouldn't really compromise the show. These characters are so different - that's what sustains the show. Now, in a strange way, they are more honest with each other and their differences can be heightened. But they are dealt with as two people who love each other."
And while the coupling of Booth and Brennan may no longer provide the drama it once did, the characters as individuals still have room to grow. "Brennan is still incredibly handicapped with emotions," Brennan says. "That's something she really needs to work on. In future episodes, Brennan encounters characters who are like her in their coldness or their inability to feel emotions, and at some point she can recognize that she's like them and see herself from an outside perspective."
Brennan will get her first shot on Monday's episode, when she faces off with rival mystery writer Tess Brown (Nora Dunn). "This has been nine years of humanizing a character, of seeing Booth's influence on Brennan. She is starting to realize - sometimes - her effect on people. She is starting to understand the inner workings of human behavior and interaction in a way that she hasn't in the past. Just as Booth is starting to understand reason and logic in a way that he has never looked at it before, Brennan is understanding the rules of the heart."
Bones: Booth and Brennan say "I Do" - but will they live happily ever after?
On Friday's episode, Brennan will have to contend with how she's perceived by those around her when she serves as a juror. "There is no juror like Brennan," Nathan says. "You can imagine somebody who feels they're somewhat infallible being on a jury. Most people are mystified by her, as is the judge. While it's very funny, it's also a very difficult process for her and she has to accept things that she has done in the case that she has to resolve."
But Brennan dealing with her social awkwardness won't be represented negatively. In fact, when the Jeffersonian team investigates the murder of a physicist's (Richard Schiff) daughter, Brennan is the only one who can get through to the grieving parent.
"Usually, the human aspect of the show - the understanding - goes to Booth. But there are some people that only Brennan can understand. She can understand the difficulty these people have. There are people who struggle in a way that Brennan struggles. So, it's particularly emotional to watch that happen."
Although Nathan admits the next string of episodes feels a bit Brennan-centric, there will be plenty for Booth to wrestle with later in the season, including the return of Freddie Prinze Jr. as his former friend-turned-CIA agent. "He is definitely coming back," Nathan says. "That's going to be a great episode for Booth. It also will examine Booth and Brennan's relationship now that they have a child and they are married. What does that mean when both of them are in danger?"

But the show will still have room for fun. On Monday's episode, Hodgins (TJ Thyne) will have an amusing turn as he plays mommy to a fly larva. And the Nov. 22 episode will find Angela (Michaela Conlin) finally throwing Brennan the bachelorette party she deserves.
"Angela insists that everything happened so fast that Brennan didn't get all she deserved," Nathan says. "Angela is determined to give her a bachelorette party she wouldn't forget and she succeeds. All of the women who go out for the bachelorette party are greeted with a situation they didn't expect."
And more importantly, the episode will finally put to rest the ongoing tensions between Booth and Angela in the wake of him (initially) turning down Brennan's marriage proposal thanks to a threat from serial killer Pelant (Andrew Leeds). Given the upcoming threat of a new serial killer, getting the team back to a place of harmony is probably a good idea.
"We are doing this in a completely different way than we have dealt with any of the other recurring killers," Nathan says of the new nemesis. "It's not going to be someone who is as visible. Pelant wanted to be known. The next person we meet, we won't necessarily meet. This is going to be somebody who values their anonymity far more than Pelant did."
Bones airs Monday at 8/7c before moving to its new timeslot on Fridays at 8/7c on Fox.

Hunting, fishing an artist's mission
ennis Minor realizes he is blessed.
A nationally known artist with ties to central Illinois, Minor spends long hours at the easel. But to gather inspiration for his oil paintings, he must also spend plenty of time fishing and hunting.
'Things couldn't be any better,' Minor said Thursday during lunch in East Peoria. 'I get to paint what I love to do, fishing and hunting.'
A resident of Lacy Springs, Ala., Minor is in town to visit family and to kickoff a fund raiser for Peoria's South Side Mission. Saturday he will autograph limited edition prints from 2-4 p.m. at Wonders of Wildlife gallery in Peoria's Shoppes at Grand Prairie. Minor will also unveil an original oil painting he donated for the fund raiser.
The Mission's main event is a Hike for Hunger at Forest Park Nature Center on Aug. 11 at 10 a.m. For $35 families can hike, win prizes and take home free T-shirts and insulated backpacks.
'Everybody has golf outings, we wanted to try to do something that was different and family oriented,' said Meg Newell, the mission's public relations director. To take part in the hike call (309) 676-4604 or register Aug. 11 starting at 9 a.m.
Why is Minor involved in raising money for a Peoria food pantry? Turns out Newell is his 'favorite cousin.'
'Meg asked me to donate a painting and she's rather hard to say 'No' to,' Minor said.
It also helps that Minor, 55, grew up in Washington, where he lived for 12 years before serving in the Vietnam War and leaving Illinois. His mother, Sally Wiese, still lives in Washington.
As a youngster Minor remembers hunting crows and trapping muskrats in Tazewell County. He also remembers sketching and drawing.
But it wasn't until years later that he became a full-time artist. That happened in 1989 when Minor sold an Orvis fly fishing shop. He has successfully focused on painting ever since, earning Ducks Unlimited's International Artist of the Year designation in 2000 and the same award from the National Wild Turkey Federation in 2004.
These days he generally finishes 10-12 paintings per year, often doing commissions for southern quail plantation owners. Other subjects reflect his personal passions: bird hunting, fly fishing, collecting sporting antiquities and sporting dogs.
One of Minor's best-known artworks is 'Waiting at Crow Creek,' an oil painting depicting black and yellow Labrador retrievers in front of a fireplace at a rustic hunting lodge. That work has earned D.U. more than $1 million, Minor said.
'They've got that painting everywhere, on wine labels, throws, pillows and even paper plates,' Minor said.
'You know you've made it when your painting is on a paper plate,' Newell joked.
Minor's latest work is of a yellow Labrador retriever standing in brown reeds alongside a Lane mallard decoy (see the painting and others by Minor at www.pjstar.com/outdoors). The canine subject for the painting is Lana, who belongs to Tremont resident Gary Lane Meister, part of four generations of Lane decoy carvers and one of Minor's friends.
Bidding for the original painting starts this Saturday at Wonders of Wildlife and concludes Aug. 11 at the hike.
The annual Illinois River duck blind drawings are Sunday, with allocations of hunting spots set to start at 2 p.m. for the following:
Anderson Lake, Clear Lake (drawing at Sand Ridge State Forest), Lake DePue, Marshall SFWA, Meredosia Bay (drawing at U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service shed), Rice Lake, Sanganois, Sparland (drawing at Marshall), Spring Lake, Pekin Lake (drawing at Spring Lake), Starved Rock and Woodford.
Those planning to enter a drawing are reminded they must be 16 or older and must have a 2006 or 2007 Illinois hunting license, a 2006 or 2007 Illinois waterfowl stamp and a valid FOID card. Anderson Lake will have licenses and stamps for sale.
Finally, hunters at Rice Lake, Anderson Lake and Spring Lake should also be aware of changes regarding blind building materials. Anyone building a blind at those sites can no longer use metal (except fasteners under 12 inches), carpet, felt paper, mesh or plastic snow fence.
Another change this year is that those drawing a blind at Spring Lake can build a platform structure or a boat hide.

Twila in harmony with Korean Children's Choir
With 32 No. 1 hits, 10 Dove Awards and millions of albums sold, Twila Paris has been winning over audiences for years.
When the Christian singer heard the World Vision Korean Children's Choir during last year's tour, she is the one who was impressed.
"I didn't know what to expect, but I was so amazed," Paris said in a phone interview last week with the Rockford Register Star.
Forty members of the choir will join Paris when she performs here for the SummerWood series. In Rockford, Paris, a spokeswoman for World Vision for 12 years, also will perform her own songs with her band.
The choir's performance includes classical music, hymns, spirituals, American folk songs and show tunes, with traditional Korean instruments and costumes.
"It's just fascinating," said Paris, a native of Fort Worth, Texas. "They are really talented and disciplined. And it is so visually interesting that it's fun for kids, too."
The choir is sponsored by the international missionary organization, World Vision. Only, now instead of being wartime orphans, as they were in the 1950s, choir members advance through competitive auditions.
Paris has recorded 20 albums and been named Female Vocalist of the Year multiple times by the Dove Awards, Christian music's Grammy. But she is just as well-known for her songwriting, including the 1995 Dove Song of the Year "God Is In Control." Several of her works are included in church hymnals. Her concerts resemble praise and worship services, with plenty of testimony and prayer.
A preacher's kid and music industry veteran before she ever recorded at 19, she led a worship band, a group designed to help people get in a mindset for worship. So she isn't surprised that the genre of praise and worship is prominent in Christian music and in churches.
"You have to acknowledge that (praise and worship) is a God-driven thing, although we jump in and take it here and there," she said. "I do believe that (the trend) did seem to just swell up from everywhere. I just think that it's God-initiated. It's all through the Bible."
But praise and worship needs to be genuine, Paris said, not just an entertainment trend.
"We have to be careful that we do worship in spirit and truth, not just in a musical and emotional level," she said. "When we worship, we are inviting the presence of God. The music is the way we get to do it in a very focused way."
She has the same message for worshippers that she gives her 6-year-old son during home-schooling: "I tell him, do your very best in everything you do, because you're doing it for God," she said.

VIDEO: Alabama Town Shocked to See Drag-Dancing Santas in Christmas Parade
Alabama townspeople were not too pleased to see a group of drag Santas dancing in their annual Christmas parade.
The Prancing Elites, an all-male dance team from Mobile, Ala., (previously best known for its local leprechaun), were invited to perform at the event in Semmes, where group captain Kentrell Collins said he believed their routine would be welcome. "I said, 'We're all over 21 and we're guys.' She was so excited. She was like, 'I didn't know they had any groups like that in Mobile,'" Collins recalled of receiving the initial invite.
However, the troupe was received with jeers, as the unprepared parade-goers were "outraged and appalled" by the men's sexy outfits and dance moves. "I never expect anything like this at the Semmes Christmas parade!.. If they were gonna put this... kind of... activity in the parade, they should have notified the people of Semmes so that we had a choice whether we wanted our child to attend and see something like that," parade-goer Claudia Davis told the local news.
As for the woman who accepted applications for the event, Karen McDuffie claims she was as in the dark as the townspeople. "I had no idea that they would be dressed the way they were and that they would think it's appropriate for a community Christmas parade," she toldAL.com. "Their costumes and the style of dancing were inappropriate."
Since the publicized mix-up, the Prancing Elites have received an outpouring of support. They've even received ample funding for theirKickstarter campaign, which they began before they even planned to join the Semmes parade.

Q. My doctor added on a charge for a 'chronic disease management' appointment on top of my annual physical because I have thyroid disease and arthritis. The doctor's office explained that my visit was more complicated than a routine physical. I'm not sure I buy that. In my case, it only cost a $20 copay, but I was surprised that it was billed that way, and it could be a surprise for someone without the excellent coverage that I have. Can they do that?
A. They may be able to do so. Under the health law, most health plans have to cover recommended preventive health care services without requiring consumers to pay anything out-of-pocket. The only exception is for plans that have maintained grandfathered status under the law.
The guidelines for women explicitly allow an annual well-woman visit for recommended preventive services. Coverage for annual physicals for men isn't required under the law, but federal rules say that office visits that are primarily preventive in nature may be covered without any patient cost sharing, says Adam Sonfield, a senior public policy associate at the Guttmacher Institute who has written extensively about the law's preventive coverage requirements.
If, in addition to a routine physical exam, your doctor also provides 'evaluation and management' services or other higher level services related to your chronic conditions, you may be charged for that portion of the office visit, say primary care practice specialists. It will likely depend on whether the physician bills separately for those services in addition to the routine physical exam.
In your case, the extra charge was a $20 copay. But depending on how a health plan is structured, other people might be on the hook for a much larger charge. If a plan has an 'all-inclusive' deductible, 'the insurance coverage does not kick in until you meet it, meaning all other office visits, lab work [and the like] are subject to that deductible,' says Jennifer Tolbert, director of state health reform at the Kaiser Family Foundation. (KHN is an editorially independent program of the foundation.)
Of course, an argument can be made that managing someone's chronic conditions is preventive.
'Clearly, for this person managing the chronic disease is really important, because it prevents a worsening of the disease,' says Sonfield. But not everyone agrees with that interpretation. Besides, if that's considered prevention, 'Where do you draw the line?'

Tips for guiding your dog through the 'teen' years
Most pet owners can tell you that the first few days with a puppy in the house can be a handful, but the job of being a good pet parent does not stop when your new pal sleeps through the night for the first time. After you finish guiding your pup through his earliest life stages, it is important to keep in mind that he will be going through his own version of the "teen" years and will rely on a guiding hand.
The accelerated development of dogs may make it seem as though they move straight from puppy to adult, but just like people, they also have an adolescent stage. Although they may look grown up, they are still experiencing changes that can have a major impact on their behavior and health.
"Many pet owners may not realize that dogs experience adolescence," says Jeff Werber, DVM, a nationally known veterinarian. "At this developmental stage, dogs are no longer puppies, but they are also not quite adults. Adolescent dogs have specific mental, social, physical and nutritional requirements that often go unmet, so it is important to make sure we are addressing all the aspects that are part of these 'teenage' years."
When your dog goes through the "teen" life stage - from about 6 months to 2 years - keep these tips in mind.
- Curb bad behaviors: Chewing shoes, soiling the carpet, surfing the counter for scraps of food - these are just some of the behaviors that come up as your still-young dog grows into his adult body. It is important to focus on training during this time to break bad habits - otherwise you could be dealing with them for life. Attending training classes not only helps your dog learn how to behave, it also helps owners discover solutions for unwanted behaviors. The added benefit of training is that it provides an opportunity to create a strong bond at one of the most impressionable periods of your dog's life.
- Establish good eating habits: Just as kids have different nutritional needs than infants and adults, adolescent dogs need food uniquely tailored to their in-between needs. As your dog's body grows and changes, certain nutrients are particularly important for brain and skeletal development and digestive health.
- Supervise socializing: Letting your dog interact with other animals is an essential part of responsible pet ownership. However, at the adolescent stage, it is important that you guide your dog's interactions carefully. As dogs' reproductive systems develop, both males and females can show signs of aggression. You may also find your male dog marking his territory and female dogs might try to flirt with males. When you start to see these behaviors frequently, it is probably time to discuss spaying or neutering with your vet. Not only can these procedures help correct some hormonally driven bad habits, they will also prevent unwanted litters of new puppies.

Jeffrey Pollack, Booty Call Director and Fresh Prince Producer, Dies at 54
Jeffrey Pollack, who directed Booty Call and was a producer on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, died on Monday, according to The Hollywood Reporter. He was 54, and police believe he died of natural causes while exercising in Hermosa Beach, Calif.
A woman who was out jogging found Pollack's body on Monday morning. He was dressed in running gear and carrying an iPod, according to the Manhattan Beach Patch.com.
Born in Los Angeles, Pollack graduated from the film school at the University of Southern California in the early 1980s and spent three years in Asia as a tourist and documentarian. Upon returning to the United States, he embarked upon a film career and founded a production company with Benny Medina. The two helped create Fresh Prince in 1990.

Pollack wrote, directed and produced his first major feature, Above the Rim, in 1993. He and Medina subsequently renamed their company Handprint Entertainment and Pollack went on to direct Booty Call in 1997 and Lost & Found in 1999. Handprint closed in 2008.
He also served as an executive consultant on The Tyra Banks Show.
Pollack is survived by a son and a daughter.

Sports update: Sproles brings more offensive punch to Eagles
Darrelle Revis and Darren Sproles found landing spots in the Northeast. Now Steve Smith and James Harrison look for new NFL homes.
Revis' stay in Tampa Bay was short, and he might not be in New England much longer. After less than a year as a Buccaneer, he was cut Wednesday and officially agreed to terms with the Patriots on Thursday — but only on a one-year deal, albeit worth about $12 million.
As for Harrison, the 2008 Defensive Player of the Year was cut by Cincinnati, where he spent only the 2013 season after being released by Pittsburgh.
Yet another busy period on the third day of NFL free agency in which Tampa Bay cut tackle Donald Penn and signed Anthony Collins to replace him; Oakland signed defensive end Justin Tuck; Green Bay re-signed linebacker Mike Neal and tight end Andrew Quarless; and the Jaguars formally signed defensive end Chris Clemons, defensive lineman Ziggy Hood and re-signed defensive end Jason Babin, who led the team with 7½ sacks in 2013.
Revis' business manager, John Geiger, tweeted: "Now it's Official.@Revis24 has agreed to terms with the New England Patriots!"
Tampa released the three-time All-Pro before he was due a $1.5 million bonus. Revis was cut after efforts to trade him and his $16 million salary failed.
New England had a need at the position because Aqib Talib left for Denver. The Patriots have not announced the Revis move.
The Eagles were eager to let the world know about the addition of the 30-year-old Sproles, who figures to be a threat as a receiver, runner, returner and in pass protection against blitzers — all the things he did so well in New Orleans.
"Darren Sproles is an unbelievable offensive weapon," coach Chip Kelly said. "He can do it all: run, catch, plus he's a proven winner. And on top of that, he can bring all of those dynamic skills to the return game as well. There is no question we were all excited once we found out we were going to be able to trade for him."
Sproles had 71 catches for 604 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 220 yards and two scores in 2013.
Smith has been the face of Carolina's franchise for a decade. But he turns 35 in May and would have cost the Panthers $7 million under this year's salary cap. The Panthers still owe Smith $3 million.
"When I took this position I knew that difficult decisions would have to be made along the way," general manager Dave Gettleman said. "To move on from a storied veteran player is probably the most difficult of all. A decision not to be taken lightly. However, after much thought I feel very strongly it's the right one."
Cincinnati no longer was the right place for Harrison, 35, who had a limited role with the Bengals after he helped the Steelers win a pair of Super Bowls.
Harrison played in 15 games, starting 10, and finished 12th on the team in tackles. He had two sacks and one interception.
"It was great for our coaches, players and fans to have James on our team last year," coach Marvin Lewis said. "He's a player everyone looks up to because of his ability, his accomplishments and his drive to be the best. He helped us win a division title with his play and with the example he set.
"It's time for us to go a different direction now, with some younger guys, but we will all still reap benefits from having had James with us as a Bengal last year."
Tuck, soon to turn 32, got a two-year deal in Oakland. He spent nine seasons with the New York Giants during which he helped them win two Super Bowls. Tuck has made two Pro Bowls and has 60 ½ career sacks, 20 forced fumbles and six fumble recoveries in 127 career games.
In other moves:
— Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks and Tarvaris Jackson agreed to a one-year contract for him to back up quarterback Russell Wilson.
— Cleveland signed tight end Jim Dray to a three-year, $5.62 million contract, with $2.25 million in the first season. And the Browns signed Cincinnati slot wide receiver Andrew Hawkins to a four-year offer sheet. The Bengals have five days to match the offer or they'll lose the elusive and speedy Hawkins to one of their AFC North rivals.
— Washington agreed to a one-year contract with free-agent linebacker Darryl Sharpton, according to a person familiar with the deal.
— Linebacker Kavell Conner signed a three-year contract with the Chargers. He is the second former Colts player to sign with the Chargers in the last three days, joining running back Donald Brown.
— Chicago agreed to a three-year contract with defensive end Willie Young and a one-year deal with receiver Domenik Hixon. Young spent four years with Detroit and Hixon had seven catches for 55 yards with Carolina in 2013. He previously played for Denver (2006-07) and the New York Giants (2007-12).

The Amilcar Notes (Part 4): Tunisia — Profoundly Islamic
1. Remembering a History Teacher
A half century ago, I was beginning Jamaica High School in Queens, New York, rather far from Tunisia. It was a wonderful, very academically sound public high school which produced the likes of the great evolutionary biologist Stephen J. Gould. I had a history teacher named Aaron Rose, the best teacher I ever had anywhere, anytime. It was only later that I understood how much he had influenced me, how I wanted to be a teacher and to teach like "Mr. Rose." It was from Aaron Rose, a Jewish New York City high school teacher that I was first introduced to the name of Ibn Khaldun and his work, The Muqadimmah .
Mr. Rose also gave two memorable lectures on the French Revolution that relates in its own way to the events in Tunisia. After the first one I came home excited, so excited in fact that when my father got wind of what I was saying he got a little nervous. "That French Revolution," I started, "look what they did, they got rid of the corrupt monarchy" (whatever shortcomings we Americans have, one of our better points is that we are not interested in monarchies – at least at home), and "the people" won and got "liberte, fraternite and egalite." Wow. Cool. I'm for it. I was also 12 years old.
The next day, continuing on the French Revolution, Aaron Rose shifted gears. Having brought us up to the heights the day before. I WANTED MORE. Didn't happen. He talked about how the revolution turned on itself, how the freedom of speech was suppressed, how the atmosphere quickly hardened and witch hunts began against anyone who spoke out who was labeled an "enemy of the revolution" and finally how so many innocent people met their deaths along with a few guilty ones.
It was crushing. He'd played a cruel trick on me, that Aaron Rose did, one day giving me hope and then stomping on it. At 12 really I had no politics, was much more interested in basketball than girls (still the case). My family was not particularly political. And here Aaron Rose for the first time kindled my interest in politics one day only to crush it the next. And maybe he WAS talking to me, because we were as close as I got to a teacher personally up until then. I liked him. He was smart, knew his subject, didn't bullshit the students (although I do not think he was some kind of radical). He was just a fine teacher who loved his students and his subject and has long been a conscious model in my 45-year teaching career, soon to end.
In any event, seeing me steaming in my seat, Mr. Rose called on me. "Prince, you are upset." I answered something like, "Yes, you're playing games with us, kindling hope for change one day and then snuffing it out the next. Why did you do that?"
I don't remember his exact words but I never forgot the essence: "It's not me who's playing games," he said, "it's history. One can look at history honestly or choose to deny it." On the subject of the French Revolution, I am just the messenger. and it's not that nothing changed because a lot of things changed. The monarch was corrupt and it was destroyed; France was not the same place after the revolution as it was before. Old institutions were swept away, new ones, along with a new legal system and new modern values replaced it…and if that revolution did not solve all the problems of all the people – and it didn't, it solved some of the problems of the old system. It's not true that France after 1789 was in the end the France that existed before. "It is a lie," he said with some emphasis, "that the French Revolution was in vane." Its goals were just partially achieved.
Then he added the line that has stayed with me all these years and this is a quote: "In the end, a revolution simply exchanges one set of problems for another." The problems of the new world are usually quite different from those of the old system. People know the old problems, the old system, but the "the world coming into being" is something of a mystery and the problems come fast and furiously and the new order has to learn to deal with things it never had to address before.
2. Saluting Tunisia
As much as anyone, Mr. Rose helped give me the eyes and the mind to attempt to process what I am seeing here in Tunisia. The need to be honest about the problems, but not to lose sight of the main picture and the flow of history, to appreciate from whence history flows, and even though it's difficult to get a glimpse as to where it might be going. History is alive, organic and on the move. Attempting to capture its motion, trying to understand that moving target…well I can tell you, now that is something worth running after! As is learning how to see through the fog that often surrounds it!
Every once in a while, the fog clears for a moment at a place, a time…and right now one of the places is Tunisia and the time is the present. I had to come.
Tonight I watched Tunisia invest a new president tonight on TV. I was at the home of Tunisians, descendants of the sheiks of La Marsa, relatives of Tunisian friends in Colorado. For those present watching Moncef Marzouki invested as President of the country, this was a precious moment, one that they were savoring, almost sacred. The only proper thing to do was to congratulate them which I did. They graciously acknowledged their national achievement.
It was a moment of national emotion and pride for all Tunisians. And despite the challenges, problems that lay ahead – I have written about many of them in this series – something very special has happened here as it "exchanged one set of problems for another."
Today in Tunisia a new government was put in place. Two new presidents took their seats, one for the country overall, the other of what is called the Constituent Assembly. That assembly was the result of the first genuine election in Tunisian history.
Yes, all election processes have their limits (as we know in the USA) but this one was done fairly. The president was not put in power by tanks, a military coup or frankly by foreign powers (who of course tried to manipulate it as is their nature), but was the result of an uprising led by the country's youth seeking a future with dignity and commensurate with their unlimited untapped talent.
The revolution was accomplished relatively peacefully although there were casualties (les martyrs). During most of this time of crisis, people here in the Tunis region and other big cities went to work although the ministers and some corporate heads had fled keeping the country running the best they could, far different from Libya where virtually everything has fallen apart. And all this done by an over-educated, underemployed and underpaid people who were beaten down, intimidated, tortured and robbed blind by two clans of nouveau riche thugs – that is really all they were in the end – for a quarter of a century.
It is true that those who led the charge took to the streets and faced down fear – fear of arrest, of torture of being killed by Ben Ali's assassination hit squads – are not those in the elected Constituent Assembly. As I have written elsewhere in this series, this is so not unusual and might even before for the best. There is something important about the continuation of a permanent social movement outside of government to continue as a check to those in power, to remind them of the source of their legitimacy – that it comes from the street, from mass, mostly peaceful demonstrations, de-legitimizing one government, giving birth to the conditions for another.
On this, history suggests that the Russian anarchists were right to distrust all power and to challenge it. Tunisia's social movement remains vibrant despite going through a difficult period. This will ultimately be the real check on the corruption of power and the Tunisians have learned to use this weapon as well as – or better than – most.
This was done with an unequaled level of courage and humanity, and a sense of national solidarity, as if the Tunisian people had woken up and found each other after a long sleep, or should I say, nightmare. People broke out of their isolation, reconnected to each other, recommitted themselves to common social goals. It is frankly, something that cannot be described in words, not my words at least. It was a beautiful thing to watch, even from far away Denver from whence I long have hailed. The uprising wasn't about religion, it wasn't "a left uprising," it was a "revolt of a new kind"…it was about a nation struggling with its soul and trying to find its way in the world again in a new more wholesome setting.
What happened here is nothing short of an explosion of Tunisian nationalism in all its aspects – mostly tolerant – it is not propaganda that Tunisia is a profoundly tolerant place, not just a tolerant Islamic country, it is just tolerant period. Yes there are some uglier aspects of Tunisian nationalism that have also surfaced. They are marginal, have very little actual history or base in this country and while they are making a lot of noise and headlines right now, it is unlikely in the end that their impact will amount to much. They do scare people for the moment but their very intolerance marginalizes them and will be their undoing.
That this sense of dignity is exactly what Tunisians are feeling now was reinforced today during a chance meeting with a Tunisian woman in Carthage. Her commentary on the past year got right to the point: "I never really thought of Tunisia as "my country," but since the revolution I feel a part of it and am proud."
A corrupt, repressive regime has been overthrown by its own people, its former leadership either forced to flee the country or in jail. A state security force of 250,000 snoops and torturers could not stop a people's movement triggered by the immolation of a frustrated, educated, barely employed youth in Sidi Bouzid. The pictures of Ben Ali and his wife Leila Trabelsi came down overnight. There is now a Boulevard Mohammed Bouazizi in Tunis. A political party first called the Neo-Destour and then morphed into the Rassemblement Constitutionel Democratique, with its roots in the colonial period that was used by two presidents, has been dissolved and a whole region turned into turmoil with the calls for greater democracy, greater economic opportunity. And an orderly election without any violence (that I am aware of) took place, a model for other countries.
I have written a fair amount in "The Amilcar Notes" about "the new set of problems" Tunisia is facing in this series, and frankly there is more to say. I don't think my observations are much off the mark. The country faces many challenges…all that glitters here is not gold. Much of the old system remains in place and in fact in some ways (economy, state security apparatus, administration) at least to date, not many changes at all.
But let us not at this moment forget that Tunisia today is a different place than it was a year ago, open and proud as it should be, it is a better place – it has reconnected with its own humanity. Something truly historical took place here. We can argue later – as we should – about the dimensions of the changes, or where Tunisia is or isn't going. The significance of what happened here starting a year ago goes beyond even the Middle East. It has undermined the cynicism of so many who said it couldn't happen here, in an overwhelmingly Arab and Moslem country run by a dictator. But it is the Tunisian changes that have created hope around the world, everywhere, including in the United States, that change is possible.
The "people's coup" as one Tunisian observer called it, brings us back to a truth that reactionaries and conservatives throughout the world have tried to stamp out, to destroy: that it is the people who make history and not crumb-bums like Zine el Abidine Ben Ali or Hosni Mubarek. And once that process begins to take form, the "great powers" are shrunk back to their much less powerful size. Neither France nor the USA could stop the Tunisian people. And the Tunisians did it by themselves and they know it; all of them! The very people the U.S. media has denigrated, deformed their history, language and religion so out of shape that it is unrecognizable and so that people in the United States fear the words "Arab" and "Moslem"…it is precisely these people who have responded by showing the world what human decency, democracy is all about. The Tunisians are leading the way.
Yes it is a beautiful thing…with all its bumps and warts. I'm glad I lived to see it and that for three weeks I could be here, watch it, think about it, worry about it and share in the wonder. The Tunisians have started the world on a journey; they've taken the first step. Now it's our turn to take the second. This is not a time for cynicism, not even mine.

Building Endurance: Helping Muscles Breathe Easier
If you stick with an exercise program, every workout gets a little easier. Learn how your body makes that happen with Groupon's guide to building endurance.
A few days into a new workout routine, you begin to notice changes. Your muscles expand. Perhaps your weight drops. But the changes that increase the body's endurance first take place on a much smaller scale. When you exert yourself for long periods of time, your body starts to populate each muscle cell with more mitochondria, the organelles that fuel muscle movements. They do this by producing adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the muscle's basic fuel source. When a muscle contracts, it breaks the bonds of ATP molecules, creating a burst of energy but also draining stockpiles of this essential propellant.
In order to whip up a batch of ATP, the mitochondria need lots and lots of oxygen. Helpfully, endurance training makes it easier for oxygen to travel from the lungs to the heart to the muscles. It's long been noted that the hearts of star endurance athletes tend to have extra-large left ventricles, which can pump more oxygenated blood through the body with every beat. Once blood reaches muscle cells whose mitochondria have been enhanced by previous endurance exercise, the cells will be able to extract oxygen and use it to produce ATP far more efficiently. Scientists assess this efficiency by a measure known as VO2max, the maximum volume of oxygen or Double Stuf Oreos that a person's muscles can consume per minute.
During super-intense exercise, the body stops being able to produce enough ATP from oxygen intake alone. Instead, it reaches for stored glucose to get the ingredients it needs, and, as a side effect, begins to leave behind more lactic acid than the cells can immediately process. (Processing lactic acid itself requires oxygen, and all available supplies are already being used by the muscles and the brain.) The point at which this happens is the lactic threshold, and beyond it, athletes feel that they're nearly done for the day.
Fortunately, this limit too can be changed. As the body adapts more and more to endurance exercise, it prolongs the amount of time you have before shifting pH levels in the muscles bring on the familiar feelings of fatigue, burning, and a dramatic drop in strength.

"When I say trenches, of coarse I mean the front, for there is no such thing nowadays. Only shell holes or holes that each individual doughboy digs himself. The Boshe have been driven from their trenches and holes and is given no time to resume his old tactics." -Letter from Sam Avery, 11/1/18
Once again promoted to Private First Class, Sam Avery was discharged from the hospital in late September and rejoined Hdq. Co., 103rd Infantry by October 4, 1918. He was issued a replacement gas mask, rifle (#138211) and bayonet (#691932) and took his place back in the ranks just in time for the 26th Division to participate in the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. The Meuse-Argonne Offensive had formally commenced on September 26, 1918 and was both the largest American military operation and greatest AEF victory of the Great War.
Following the St. Mihiel operation, the 103rd Infantry was heavily bombarbed by gas at Saulx before being relieved on October 6-7 when it moved north of Verdun, marching by night. The movement was difficult due to bad conditions of the roads and the sheer number of troops being concentrated in the area for the upcoming offensive. By October 9, the entire Regiment had arrived in the vicinity of Fromereville with HQ established at Moulin Brule. On October 10, the 26th Division's HQ was opened in the battered citadel at Verdun with the troops located in camps and billets to the southwest.
On October 13, the 52nd Brigade entered the lines attached to the French 17th Corps with Brigade HQ established in the ruins of Cumieres. The line occupied by the 17th Corps extended from Sivry east to Molleville Farm Wood, then southeast to Haumont Wood and Caures Wood. On October 14, the 103rd Infantry moved to Cote d'Oie in preparation to take over a sub-sector on the line. The night of October 15-16, the 26th Division completed relief of the French 18th Division in the Neptune Sector from Ormont on the left to Beaumont on the right.
The 52nd Brigade held the right side of the line in a tangle of trenches north and northeast of Cote de Poivre. All battalions of the 103rd Infantry moved into the front lines on the nights of October 22-23, occupying old German positions which were in a bad state of disrepair. From the moment of its arrival on the line until the very end of hostilities, the 103rd Infantry was subjected to severe artillery fire.
Facing them, the German 1st and 32nd Landwehr Divisions had constructed layered defenses over months which proved highly resistant to attack including artillery, machine guns and intricate trenchworks embedded in a muddy moonscape with observation points on the heights above. The weather was dismal with a continual rain and cold river mists saturating everything including clothing and blankets. Dugouts and trenches were flooded and knee-deep in mud, hillsides were mud piles torn by constant artillery and sniper fire, the roads were impassable, and toxic gas permeated everything. Exhausted and clad in worn, filthy clothing, the men also had insufficient hot food and were forced by necessity to use untreated water from any source including puddles and shell holes which caused many cases of diarrhea. What further added to the misery was an outbreak of dreaded influenza that took its own share of casualties across all ranks.
On October 23-27, the 51st Brigade on the left side of the line struggled to clear the eastern ridge of the heights of the Meuse with mixed success and very heavy casualties while the 52nd Brigade remained in place at Bois d'Haumont (Point A) protecting the right flank. The 103rd Infantry's center of resistance was along the captured "Kriemhilde Line" at the Tranchee de la Mamelle near Romagne with the 104th Infantry positioned to their left. Division casualties during this time included 261 killed, 1,287 wounded, 1,229 gassed and 231 missing. On November 6, a battalion each from the 103rd and 104th were briefly redeployed to the area of Ormont Wood in support of the U.S. 79th Division and were occupied with making regular trench raids on the German lines to capture prisoners.
On November 7 the entire 26th Division front was bombarded by 3,000 gas and 6,000 high explosive shells as the Germans prepared to withdraw. On November 8 in response to evidence of a German withdrawal across the front, the 103rd Infantry pushed into the German front line positions in their sub-sector and occupied them. Immediately the detached elements of the 52nd Brigade were recalled and a new 26th Division advance line was established on the heights above the Azannes-Damvillers road (Point B).
New orders on November 9 changed the direction of advance to the southeast with the objective of the hills called the "Ornes Twins" and the village of Azannes. After being held in check by German machine guns during the remainder of the day, on November 10 the 103rd Infantry captured Town Wood and the 104th Infantry flanked the enemy at Ville-devant-Chaumont. At 2100 hours on November 10, despite rumors that an armistice would be signed on November 11, orders were published directing a new attack on Les Jumelles d'Ornes, Hill #265 and Maucourt the next day.
[Pictured above are shoulder-straps cut from the uniforms of captured German prisoners to confirm military intelligence. According to the Daily Intelligence Report of the 17th French Corps on October 25, 1918, hostile contact was made with the German 160th Infantry and 245th Reserve Regiments which held sections of the enemy line of resistance from Sivry to La Wavrille. The 103rd Infantry was part of the Corps attack that drove back these and numerous other German units in retreat until the Armistice on November 11.]
On November 11 at 0545 hours, a radio message from Marshal Foch was received that stated hostilities would cease along the entire front at 1100 hours French time, but much to the dismay of American officers, the order for the 26th Division to attack commencing at 0930 hours remained unchanged. Information about the cease-fire was deliberately withheld from the rank and file to keep order and discipline intact during the continuing offensive operations.
The 103rd Infantry made its final advance in line with the other regiments in pursuit of the retreating Germans, reaching the road south of Ville-devant-Chaumont (Point C) before coming to a final halt at 1100 hours. The men of the 103rd were occupied with clearing machine gun nests until the very last moment, and some were angered when their artillery support suddenly stopped before realizing that hostilites had finally ended.
Across the entire front the guns fell silent, followed by frantic cheering from the men on both sides who had already counted themselves dead and now realized they had been given the gift of survival. But the joy of Sam Avery and the men of the 103rd was tempered by the memory of those who had recently fallen: Casualties in the 103rd Infantry during the 11 days of November were over 400 killed and wounded with 500 additional gassed.
Just before dusk on November 12, one officer and 10 men of the 103rd Infantry who had fallen during the last 2 days were buried in one large common grave on a hillside at the edge of Bois de Ville. This marked the most forward position of the 103rd Infantry's final advance in the Great War. Among the men killed on the final drive before the Armistice was Moses Neptune, son of the Passamaquoddy Tribal Governor William Neptune. Although not considered a full American citizen (Congress enacted legislation on November 6, 1919, granting citizenship to Indian veterans of World War I), Moses had enlisted for service at the young age of 19 along with 34 other volunteers from the small tribal enclave of Pleasant Point, Perry, Maine. Read the Chaplain's letter to Tribal Gov. William Neptune here.
The Regiment was relieved on the nights of November 12-13, and the next day began a march of 185 kilometers towards a well-earned rest. When it finally left the lines on November 14, the 103rd Infantry had been reduced to only 25-30% of its original strength…
